Audacity Forum

I have a back up but don't want to start over. You win. Once a project starts to fall apart like this, it's usually the end of the world. Just to cover it, the AUP file is a text file. You can read it with any text editor. The original Project name is burned into it. https://www.kozco.com/tech/auda...

It may not be a setting. R for Record is one action and Shift+R is the other. The two were recently swapped when it turned out most people wanted to add new work onto the end of old work. You can set that action back to the old way with Audacity > Edit > Preferences > [_] Record on a new track. Koz

I have posted files since they implemented this automated check. Tests or the real thing? A whole book? I read that three times. You posted chapters to ACX and their new robot quality control didn't find anything wrong. They always had automated acceptance at the beginning, but this new one is diff...

I don't think that's room noise. I think your computer or microphone was being naughty during the recording. I can partially suppress some of those clicks and pops, but it turns your voice honky. You won the lottery. Some of the interference tones are the same as your voice. Do you have a longer pie...

I posted a clip yesterday, but no one downloaded it so I deleted it. This is not a formal corporate help desk. It's a forum with users helping each other. Everybody's a volunteer. If nobody gets to you for a certain amount of time, that's just the way it is. Don't fight us by shuffling information ...

We violated a service principal there. We dove straight into analysis without finding what the actual job was. Are you reading for voice production or audiobooks? How do you know there even is a problem? It's a new user mistake to assume everybody is required to apply tons of effects, corrections an...

No.

Should I be doing a room test? That's what the first two seconds of the forum voice test is for. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Do that, and apply Audiobook Mastering and then ACX Check. Read the display. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/ACX-Check_Success2.jp...
